While it was expected that former Baltimore Ravens Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken would follow new Giants Head Coach John Harbaugh to New York, that plan will no longer come to fruition. Monken was hired as head coach of the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, as reported by Adam Schefter.
Having already hired both a defensive and special teams coordinator earlier in the week, Harbaugh will now turn his attention towards finding a new face to take over the development of second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Here are six candidates who could appeal to Harbaugh and the Giants as they look to pivot from Monken.
Davis Webb (Denver Broncos Offensive Passing Game Coordinator and QBs Coach)
Webb seems to be a hot commodity around the league after helping lead the Broncos to a top 10 offense in 2025. The 31-year-old has served as QBs coach for Bo Nix’s first two NFL seasons and was promoted to passing game coordinator prior to 2025.
The Giants are seemingly intrigued by that success, as they have requested an interview with him, per Schefter.
Webb and the Giants have a long history with one another. The former quarterback was a third-round pick for New York in 2017, and he finished his career as Daniel Jones’ backup on the team’s 2022 playoff squad before making the jump to the coaching ranks a year later.
While the Broncos could retain Webb as their new OC after firing Joe Lombardi, Webb may look for a play calling role outside of the organization with the presence of HC Sean Payton in Denver.
Having interviewed with the Buffalo Bills for their head coaching vacancy prior to the promotion of Joe Brady and still in the race for the Las Vegas Raiders post, Webb seems like an easy bet to make a quick rise through the coaching ranks within the next few seasons and the Giants could be the team that bites first.
Robert Prince/Willie Taggart (Atlanta Falcons Wide Receivers Coach/Giants Running Backs Coach)
Both Prince and Taggart have been connected to the Giants this offseason, with Prince interviewing for the role (according to Tom Pelissero) and an interview with Taggart being requested before he was hired as RBs coach (according to Jeremy Fowler).
Taggart is the more experienced candidate out of the two, having Power Five play calling experience with both Oregon and Florida State. He spent last season as assistant head coach and RBs coach in Baltimore.
A former college QB, the 49-year-old was recruited to Western Kentucky by John’s father to play under Jim Harbaugh, showing close family ties.
Prince, too, has a long resume that includes college OC positions at Portland State and Boise State, as well as a unique “acting head coach” role with the Lions in 2020 after interim HC Darell Bevell had to quarantine due to Covid-19.
The 60-year-old’s work with all of Kenny Golladay (prior to his disappointing Giants stint), CeeDee Lamb and Tyreek Hill/Jaylen Waddle must appeal to Harbaugh, who is inheriting former sixth overall pick and pro bowler Malik Nabers.
Though he was hired this week as a WRs coach with the Falcons, his first potential NFL OC role would surely be enough to change his mind.
Greg Roman
Roman spent the 2025 season as the OC for the Los Angeles Chargers, though he was fired after their Wild Card loss by Harbaugh’s brother Jim.
That wasn’t the first time that he was forced out by a Harbaugh brother, as Roman resigned from the same gig with the Ravens following the 2022 season after serving on John’s staff.
After spending the last half decade between the brothers, Roman still seems like a fair bet to receive some consideration for a reunion with John as it seems unlikely that Jim would have hired Roman without a strong endorsement from John prior to the 2024 campaign.
Despite injuries across the offensive line and in the running backs room this season, the Chargers managed to finish with the 12th best rushing offense in the league by measure of yards.
Based on that sustained success and Roman’s experience working with star QBs in Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert, the 53-year-old may stand as the natural pivot for another job with a Harbaugh brother.
Charlie Weis Jr. (Louisiana State University OC)
The main connection between Weis Jr. and the Giants OC job is the presence of Dart, as Weis Jr. served as OC under Lane Kiffin during Dart’s time at Ole Miss.
Under the 32-year-old, Ole Miss gained the most offensive yards and scored the third most points across all FBS division one programs in 2025. The second-generation coach followed Kiffin to LSU after Ole Miss’ 2025 semifinals run.
Though Weis Jr. rebuffed interest from the Philadelphia Eagles for their OC role, according to Dianna Russini, a chance to reunite with Dart may be enough to change his mind and bring him back to the NFL ranks for the first time since he served as an offensive assistant for the Falcons in 2017.
Kliff Kingsbury
After helping Jayden Daniels to an Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign in 2024, Kingsbury and the Washington Commanders mutually parted ways following a disappointing regression in 2025.
The 46-year-old has a long track record of developing young quarterbacks, both as an OC and HC. Best known for his work with Patrick Mahomes as HC at Texas Tech, his work with Kyler Murray as Arizona Cardinals HC spawned the best years of the Oklahoma product’s career.
Couple that with Daniels’ success when healthy and throwing in Johnny Manziel’s electric college career at Texas with Kingsbury as OC, it becomes clear why Kingsbury would be an attractive candidate for a team with a young QB such as Dart in place.
